Here is a quote from the artist, Tomer Hanuka:

"The central idea going into this image was depicting planet Dagobah itself as a portrait of Luke's subconscious in it's most interesting and unformed phase. In a nightmarish sequence, Luke runs into the mist where he thinks he saw Vader. Luke finds him and a lightsaber duel ends with Vader's decapitation . The mask cracks open on the severed head, exposing the frozen face of a dead Luke Skywalker. The suggestion here is that somewhere within Luke's psyche there is a potential for ultimate evil. Luke's greatest challenge isn't the Galactic Empire and it's endless, faceless troopers, but the magnetism of the dark side; the seductive idea of choosing his own potential for power over everything else."
